Iron complexes derived from a bis-isoindoline-bis-pyridine ligand platform based on the BPBP ligand (BPBP=N,N′-bis(2-picolyl)-2,2′-bis-pyrrolidine) have been synthesized and applied in selective aliphatic C?H oxidation with hydrogen peroxide under mild conditions. The introduction of benzene moieties on the bis-pyrrolidine backbone leads to an increased preference of tertiary over secondary C?H bond oxidation (3°/2° ratio up to 33). On the other hand, substituting the meta-position of the pyridines with bulky silyl groups affords enhanced secondary C?H oxidation selectivity and generally leads to higher product yields and mass balances.

Selective oxidation of alkyl C-H groups constitutes one of the highest challenges in organic synthesis. In this work, we show that mononuclear iron coordination complexes Λ-[Fe(CF3SO3) 2((S,S,R)-MCPP)] (Λ-1P), Δ-[Fe(CF3SO 3)2((R,R,R)-MCPP)] (Δ-1P), Λ-[Fe(CF 3SO3)2((S,S,R)-BPBPP)] (Λ-2P), and Δ-[Fe(CF3SO3)2((R,R,R)-BPBPP)] (Δ-2P) catalyze the fast, efficient, and selective oxidation of nonactivated alkyl C-H groups employing H2O2 as terminal oxidant. These complexes are based on tetradentate N-based ligands and contain iron centers embedded in highly structured coordination sites defined by two bulky 4,5-pinenopyridine donor ligands, a chiral diamine ligand backbone, and chirality at the metal (Λ or Δ). X-ray diffraction analysis shows that in Λ-1P and Λ-2P the pinene rings create cavity-like structures that isolate the iron site. The efficiency and regioselectivity in catalytic C-H oxidation reactions of these structurally rich complexes has been compared with those of Λ-[Fe(CF3SO3) 2((S,S)-MCP)] (Λ-1), Λ-[Fe(CF3SO 3)2((S,S)-BPBP)] (Λ-2), Δ-[Fe(CF 3SO3)2((R,R)-BPBP)] (Δ-2), Λ-[Fe(CH3CN)2((S,S)-BPBP)](SbF6) 2 (Λ-2SbF6), and Δ-[Fe(CH3CN) 2((R,R)-BPBP)](SbF6)2 (Δ-2SbF 6), which lack the steric bulk introduced by the pinene rings. Cavity-containing complexes Λ-1P and Λ-2P exhibit enhanced activity in comparison with Δ-1P, Δ-2P, Λ-1, Λ-2, and Λ-2SbF6. The regioselectivity exhibited by catalysts Λ-1P, Λ-2P, Δ-1P, and Δ-2P in the C-H oxidation of simple organic molecules can be predicted on the basis of the innate properties of the distinct C-H groups of the substrate. However, in specific complex organic molecules where oxidation of multiple C-H sites is competitive, the highly elaborate structure of the catalysts allows modulation of C-H regioselectivity between the oxidation of tertiary and secondary C-H groups and also among multiple methylene sites, providing oxidation products in synthetically valuable yields. These selectivities complement those accomplished with structurally simpler oxidants, including non-heme iron catalysts Λ-2 and Λ-2SbF6.

Sodium periodate (NaIO4) is shown to be a milder and more efficient terminal oxidant for C-H oxidation with CpIr (Cp* = C 5Me5) precatalysts than ceric(IV) ammonium nitrate. Synthetically useful yields, regioselectivities, and functional group tolerance were found for methylene oxidation of substrates bearing a phenyl, ketone, ester, or sulfonate group. Oxidation of the natural products (-)-ambroxide and sclareolide proceeded selectively, and retention of configuration was seen in cis-decalin hydroxylation. At 60 C, even primary C-H bonds can be activated: whereas methane was overoxidized to CO2 in 39% yield without giving partially oxidized products, ethane was transformed into acetic acid in 25% yield based on total NaIO4. 18O labeling was demonstrated in cis-decalin hydroxylation with 18OH2 and NaIO 4. A kinetic isotope effect of 3.0 ± 0.1 was found in cyclohexane oxidation at 23 C, suggesting C-H bond cleavage as the rate-limiting step. Competition experiments between C-H and water oxidation show that C-H oxidation of sodium 4-ethylbenzene sulfonate is favored by 4 orders of magnitude. In operando time-resolved dynamic light scattering and kinetic analysis exclude the involvement of metal oxide nanoparticles and support our previously suggested homogeneous pathway.

Methylene C-H bonds are among the most difficult chemical bonds to selectively functionalize because of their abundance in organic structures and inertness to most chemical reagents. Their selective oxidations in biosynthetic pathways underscore the power of such reactions for streamlining the synthesis of molecules with complex oxygenation patterns. We report that an iron catalyst can achieve methylene C-H bond oxidations in diverse natural-product settings with predictable and high chemo-, site-, and even diastereoselectivities. Electronic, steric, and stereoelectronic factors, which individually promote selectivity with this catalyst, are demonstrated to be powerful control elements when operating in combination in complex molecules. This small-molecule catalyst displays site selectivities complementary to those attained through enzymatic catalysis.

New synthetic methods are described for the preparation of (E)-3, (E)-4, and (E)-5-alkenoic acids by the regio- and stereoselective ring opening of β, γ, and δ-lactones with unsaturated substituents at the ω-position using organocopper reagents such as halomagnesium diorganocuprates or Grignard reagents in the presence of copper(I) iodide.Both the organocopper reagents with primary, secondary, tertiary alkyl, and phenyl groups gave the corresponding carbon homologated alkenoic acids in good yields.Alkadienoic acids were also obtained in good yields by the reactions of ω-alkenyllactones with divinyl- and diallylcuprates.Utilizing the ring opening of β-isopropenyl-β-propiolactone, homoterpenoid carboxylic acids were easly obtained in good yields.The ring opening of β-(1-chlorovinyl)-β-propiolactone afforded 4-chloro-3-alkenoic acids which were easly transformed to 4-oxoalkanoic acids and 4-oxo-2-alkenoic acids.
